“i had visions of the scrubs, or worse, concrete slippers and a dip in the thames.”

1. a very funny sitcom on nbc that has no laugh track (nor needs one).

2. clothing worn by hospital staff in the workplace. it’s easier to clean blood or vomit stains out of scrubs than out of a suit shirt and they’re a lot cheaper to replace.

3. in sports, players who aren’t talented enough to be in the starting lineup and spend most of their time on the bench.

4. according to the tlc song, somebody without a job or car or his own place, i.e. the kind of guy who t-boz, left eye and chilli were all too stuck up to consider dating or hanging out with. a scrub was a guy who couldn’t get no love from them even if he was a nice guy; since he had no material possessions they wanted nothing to do with him. this was probably just as well, since if the scrub in question did have a house of his own and impressed lisa (rip) enough to date her, it would only be a matter of time before she set it on fire.
1. michael j. fox guest-starred on scrubs last night.

2. aw man, this patient just puked all over my scrubs!

3. people thought darko milicic would be a starter for the detroit pistons in 2003-2004, but he was just a scrub and hardly got any playing time.

4. tlc: “a scrub is a guy that can’t get no love from me/and is also known as a buster/always talkin’ about what he wants/and just sits on his broke -ss…”

me: “hey surviving tlc members! didn’t you girls have to declare bankrupty at one point? seems to me like you’re the last people who should be judging anybody for being broke!”

turk: he can dance if he wants to. he can leave his friends behind. cause his friends don’t dance and if they dont dance then they’re no friends of mine, (music plays) (turks goes off dancing the safety dance)”

the todd: dude, i hear they have laws that make women completely cover their bodies when they’re out in public. the war in irak. try the war to see rack.”
a scrub is a now generalized term used as a synonym for a “noob” or “newb,” which is someone who is bad at a video game or activity in general.

most of the definitions here, surprisingly, have nothing to do with the actual term. the original definition is related to a person who makes a mistake in a video game, which is such a bad mistake that it is clearly wrong, yet they persist in making it. the term derives from street fighter ii, to describe some players that were so bad that they would mash their hands across the control pad, an act known as “scrubbing,” because it relates to scrubbing a car or other object with a sponge. thus they were deemed “scrubbers,” or “scrubs” for short. over time this term expanded throughout the gaming world, and then the real world, and lost its original meaning.

a scrub is a more derogatory form of the slang “noob”, “nub” etc. and is primarily used in video games, particularly those which are multiplayer based.

whilst a noob is generally considered one who is new to the game, and as a result not proficient, a scrub need not necessarily be new. it may imply that the person accused is forever a noob, regardless of how much they may practice.
“fml why am i always on the scrub team”
